Delicious brown rice and kidney bean salad tossed in Italian dressing with veggies and almonds. Perfect chilled side for any meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 0.25 cup chopped red onion
  • 0.25 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 0.25 cup bite-size broccoli florets
  • 0.25 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 0.25 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 0.25 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped raw almonds
  • 0.25 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fat free Italian-style dressing
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Combine the cooled rice with kidney beans, red onions, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, and almonds in a large bowl. Season with pepper, then coat the salad with Italian dressing and olive oil.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour before enjoying.
